Texas Independence Day!

Happy Texas Independence Day!

March 2 marks the 180th anniversary of Texas independence. On this date in 1836, 59 delegates crowded into the tiny river town of Washington and passed, without debate, a declaration written primarily by George Childress that proclaimed Texas a republic independent from Mexico. Statehood came 9 years later in December of 1845.

I'll be in New Braunfels at Scrapbook N' More on Saturday teaching the Bluebonnet Pop Up Book.

Great cards! I especially like the big Texas in the background behind the barn. You're always so good about remembering T.I.D. I can't imagine getting 59 people in a room to pay attention long enough to get anything done nowadays!
